To all whom it: mai concern:

c it known that I, ALFRED Insmonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at "Philadelphia, inthe county of Philadelphia 6' and State of'Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Racks for Holding Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

bowls and similar articles of chinaware an ;;-:};l;glassware for immersion 1n the tanks of wishing or cleansing machines, and it has for its object to provide a simple, durable -and mex )ensive rack adapted to so hold the ,15 articles t at there is little or no liability of crack ng, chip 1n or breaking the same, and

in positions w ic insure that the water in which they are immersed will have free and full access to all partsof the article, and it consists in the parts and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

, p -In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of im roved bowl hold racking. I Fig. 2 is a si e elevation of the rack -with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a detail transverse section on the line 3-3, Fig. 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout, the several views. 1 v

Referring to the',..'l]'hwin s, A represents the upper sectl'bhi'itttld. B t 1e lower section comprising my improved rack. These sec tlons are hinged together at one end, as will be described hereinafter, so that the upper 5 section may be raised in order to place the bowls in the lower section. Each oilthe tions is composed of a of transversely arranged partition plates vC which are space a )art and held in their iapright posi- 4 tlon byt e longltudinallyexten ing bolts-or rods D and the sleeves "The boltsor rods D extend through openings'formed in the plateg andthrough the sleeves, the letter bege between the plates and bearing thereagainis at each end. The rods or bolts l) a -pre'f erably formed of a bar of metal onitself so that one end may 'bc'fiattened olit to-,'ffiorm a head, as at a, and the other or splitend separated and bent in 0 Q .oosite directions and hammered flat, as at b,

" This invention relates to racks for holding lower section is further secured or tied tother b the bars Fextending the full ength o the rack and having their ends bent up and riveted to the outer or end plates at each end of the rack. The bars 1* also serve as a bottom or Wearing surface for the rack.

Atone end of the lower section a handle G is firmly riveted to the end plate, and to the f plate at the other end of saiid section the perforated ears H are riveted, said ears beng extended above the to of the plate. To the haiidle G is secured a or i which forms a rest or so port for one end of the upper section of tli other end of said section a handle J is secured, the lower ortion or ends of which are perforated an extend down to the ears H and are pivotslly connected therewith by a pin L in order to form a hinge joint be tween the two sections, whereby the upper section may be raised or tilted for the pur- .pose ofloading the lower section with bowls and unloading the same therefrom.

Each of the partition lates is formed with the recesses d in their ower edges which coincide in location with the pockets or jacentpartition plates, as clearly indicated by dotted lines in the drawings.

The pockets of the lower section are first filled .with bowls and the upper section is then loweredzon the bottom section and its pockets filled. I i It- )vill be. noticed that the arrangement. and construction of the parts forming the rack are such that the bowls are exposed at. all points to the water when the rack is lowered into the washing: and rinsing tanks, and that the bowls are firmly held against. moven'ient in the pockets and that they are so separated from each other that they do not touch at any point, thus providing against chipping, cracking, and breaking the articles by contact with each other.

Having thus described my invention what e rack, and to the plate at the' Hit) their lower edges, sleeves separating said said plates and through said sleeves to tie 10 the whole together, and handles secured at each end of said rack.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
